6 July

Died c. 900. Modwenna is associated with Saint Edith of Polesworth. She
was formerly venerated at Burton-on-Trent. Modwenna is a fairly obscure
character who has been confused with the Irish saint Moninne, abbess of
Killeavy
(Attwater2,
Benedictines).

In art, Modwenna is portrayed as an
abbess with a red cow by her side
(Roeder).
